Anlyon alternative
Run the operations that matter as governed actions.
Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.
Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Why it is in this group
- The name "find_open_grants" says "find": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Lists open federal grant notices that CedarGrant covers (posted on Grants.gov, open to organizations; not NIH, forecasted, invitation-only, scholarships or fellowships), refreshed daily, soonest deadline first. Filter by keyword (searched in title, agency and summary, for example 'museum', 'mentoring', 'wildfire'), funding category, the applicant types the notice lists, days until it closes, maximum award size and whether the notice says cost sharing is required. Returns each notice's number, agency, close date, award range as stated, and its official Simpler.Grants.gov page. Applicant types are as the notice lists them, not a judgement of eligibility.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_drafting_kit" says "get": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "review": it reads comments, which other people can write.
Description, as the server wrote it Use when the user wants help with a grant application: drafting one for a federal notice on Grants.gov or Simpler.Grants.gov, drafting one from an announcement they bring themselves (state, local, foundation or other funder), or reviewing their own draft against the announcement's requirements and review criteria before they submit (a Requirements Map, and a Reviewer Panel built from the announcement's own criteria; never a score). Returns CedarGrant's drafting kit (early access, free): step-by-step instructions to check that the notice is open and covered, read the official notice and its files yourself, ask the user a few questions and write a complete draft in the notice's required format. CedarGrant does not read the documents, see the user's answers or the draft, or store anything.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write1
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
Findings
Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.
No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
History
Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.
No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.
Install
Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.
claude mcp add --transport http federal-grants https://cedargrant.com/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http federal-grants https://cedargrant.com/mcpRun in a terminal.
Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__federal-grants__find_open_grants",
"mcp__federal-grants__get_drafting_kit"
],
"ask": [],
"deny": []
}
}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as federal-grants. Review it before you use it.
